would be invaluable lessons in practical
economy; in how to spend money and how
not to spend it, and in a respectful self-de-
pendence. With her pin money she should
be expected to pay her own car fare, buy
her own gloves and collars and motions"
generally, do her own creating, " and be, |
in fact, her own fnaneier. In no other
way can she be so successfully taught the
proper value of money. A girl who never
has any money of her own, who must ask
papa every time she wants 10 cents for car
fare OF money for a new ruching, is apoOr,
spiritless creature, robbed of considerable
individuality and deserving pity. Unless
she marries q man-angel she will probably
be that most Inundated Of all women-a
beggar-wife, who has to coax, cajole, beg
money from her husband, explain piteous-
ly what she does with it, and made to feel
all the misery of unjust dependence. A
girl should be taught the responsibility of
possessing things. She should realize the
full import of that old, familiar saying:
whats mine is my own" The loss of
self-preservation makes q man most careful
of things that are his own. A girls pets,
books, flowers, toys, ornaments, should
be her own to do with as she Wills
for which she will be responsible to her
own conscience. She should be made as
early as possible o responsible agent; and
taught to rely on herself; to do for herself;
to buy for herself. If her taste in dress is
bad, improve it by criticism and loving
advice. Do not foster helplessness by as
Stunning for her her responsibilities. There
was a time when sickly or delicate young
women, who tainted easily, and could not
get a whole strawberry into their dear lit
tie mouths, were all the fashion in woman
hood. In those days it was vulgar for a
young girl to say she wa hungry or to eat
with a wholesome relish and a good sensi-
BILE appetite if gentlemen were present.
Girls aimed to look languid and were vain
that they could not walk, and were not
strong enough for any greater physical ex-
ertion than standing at the front gate for
three or four hours at q time talking to q
young man. Those days are gone by for
ever. Healthy, wholesome, energetic, ag-
lie, strong young m are the fashion.
Painting is as much out of date as q coal
scuttle bonnet. The girl of to-day is not
afraid to let her best young nan see her
eat a big, hearty meal. She will walk with
him around the park several times, or stroll
over the hills for half a day and be less
"blown" than he at the end of the trip.
In fact helpless women are out OF style;
they no longer exist, even in novels. The
wisest mother is she who to-day is helping
her beautiful, sweet and modest young
girls to become brave and self-reliant wO-
men, not bold nor iorwardly self-assertive,
hut surely not afraid TO face any Of the
duties and dangers aud responsibilities f
q woman's lot.
Gabrielle" writes to the REGISTER
and says: 81 have always lived in a city,
but ! long for the country, where | can
breathe the fresh air and have rich cream
for my coffee, good, fresh butter of my
own make, spring chickens of my own
raising, and good, fresh eggs to make
things a person can relish. l am a blonde
with dark brown eyes" Here is a chance
for some lonely country lad, who wishes to
make his life bright, and Gabrielle" says
she would like to hear from any young
man who can furnish her with what she
wants. She will no doubt make a good
wife.
A letter has been received by the REG

Wheeling who will exactly suit Bessie"
